The Jinx

We have gotten so used to this project taking longer than we anticipate that decided a while ago to not rely on timelines. It seemed like every time we put a date on any activity plans would fall through or contractors had to reschedule, so we made an unconscious and mutual decision to keep our timeline to ourselves to save having to tell people that it's taking longer than we said it would. We let our hopes get the best of us last week, and jinxed ourselves once again. We thought that we would be able to start painting this week so took the time to focus on finishing patching up our shiplap walls and installing trim and baseboard, but received a call on Friday that the painters could not actually start until the second week in January. It was disappointing, but I guess it's cool that we finally got around to finishing a few projects. Work continues and we still see progress, it's just not the type of progress that we thought we would see this week.

It took us a while to figure out how to trim out the space between these two close-together windows, but are pretty confident that this will look natural once sanded and painted.

First coat on our green door. This pop of color is going to look fantastic against our white walls and wood floors, once painters finally come hopefully in January

Boxes are piling up from light orders, hopefully Val the electrician can come over soon and installed so we don't have to use flashlights at night anymore.
